Fibaro RGB controller

[kfly]

Some good info here on this guy:

https://manuals.fibaro.com/rgbw/

A lot of capability for $60

The FIBARO RGBW Controller is a universal, Z Wave compatible RGB/RGBW controller. The RGBW Controller uses a PWM output signal, which enables it to control LED, RGB, RGBW strips, halogen lights and fans. Controlled devices may be powered by 12 or 24 VDC. Additionally, the device supports up to four 0V 10V analog sensors such as temperature sensors, humidity sensors, wind sensors, air quality sensors, and light sensors. All IN and OUT terminals may be user configured for LED control or 0V 10V signal readouts.

The driver is in the usual place, it's the device itself I'm confused about.

I'm hoping this is it but seems to be z-wave only:

Maybe Dean can figure out how to handle that with a modified config for the zwave driver so that we can get a color wheel like interface?

Dean Sorry for the Lazy question...
Does any kind of color wheel/Color Picker work with WebRiva in a browser?
Thanks again for all your help over the years.

Yeh, the color palette widget works in WebRIVA. It's used in the auto-generated interfaces.

Thanks,
Works great even on my iPad 2's.

Dean,
I have an "Area Color Fill" Widget I want to refresh everytime the Fibaro light color field changes.

I currently have it working with a command button as a test.

Question is is there a good way to update an Area Color Fill widget based on the current Fibaro field color value automaticly?

(as a last resort I could read/write the Area Color Fill each time any button is pressed on the IV)

Devices::FieldRead
    P1=Z-Stick.CLGHT#Deck_Lights_RGBW
    P2=LVar:CurrentColor
    P3=True

Color Current::SetWidgetColor
    P1=Bgn 1
    P2=%(LVar:CurrentColor)
    P3=HSV Integer

I use the SetWidgetColor the way you do in my Google Calendar driver, but it doesn't change unless the screen is refreshed, so it is done on the preload. I am not sure you can set a trigger for that, then be able to set the widget color, then refresh the screen, but worth a try.

Looks like we need  a "Field Color Palette" Widget

The great part of that is you could have a palette and put over top any image you want as a mask...(see lightbulb below)
Then you could have any driver color field or a variable driver field change the image on the IV dynamicly.

Guess will need to stick with the Fibaro FGRGBWM-441  model.
Seems the newer Fibaro FGRGBWM-442 model just gets stuck at GetUnitInfo.

OK. Done with the Deck(I converted TimberTech Postcap Lights to LED)  lighting off a Fibaro RGBW Z-wave controller FGRGBWM-441 (not the FGRGBWM-442)
They are really inexpensive and can do 12v or 24v RGB/RGBW

You could try setting a triggered event on the template that contains the preview widget, set it to filter for a change in that field and call set color on the preview widget. Not sure if that will work, but it's worth a try. The commands available in the triggered event handlers is limited, but that one is probably available.
